Can I use a car subwoofer for home theater ?

I have a Re audio xxx 12 Inch dual 2 ohm that I dont use any more and I can wire to 4 ohm , I can buy a bash amplifier online 500 watts at 4 ohms and get a custom built box from a local shop. Will it sound good Or is It a good idea to just buy a subwoofer from like svs or hsu. I am asking because I want to have use for the subwoofer.

If you're handy at building stuff out of MDF and have the time it can be rewarding and save you a bit of money. HSU is hard to beat for the price though and they sound excellent. I would construct a sub if you enjoy the hobby and take pride in building things yourself. Other wise just sell your woofer it and buy a pre-made one.

There are tons of resources on DIY sub building. I've provided a link to a DIY subwoofer forum that is excellent. There is a definite science behind it.
